We shall prove alot of people wrong. F McNuts.

[SkinItup]

Certainly lost some respect from me with those remarks.

[Gtothearry]

I value Jerry Rices' opinion much more over a bitter QB.........

[GhettoDogAllStars]

1.) McNabb was never very good. Reid deserves credit for being successful with him.

2.) Just because McNabb can't fit into a different scheme, neither can RG3? That's a dis towards RG3, not Shanahan.

[Monksdown]

How was he misused the first time? It's not Shanaclan's fault the guy was a self important inflexable system quarterback. His one intangable was evasiveness. When he lost that, AND he was put in a different system with other players trying to learn their jobs in the new system, what did anyone expect?

[CultBrennan59]

Donovan McNabb is a great Quarterback. Great great Quarterback...

God damn, this is sort of funny, most of the guys in here loved getting McNabb, now they hate him. Yeah, not saying Donovan was any good, but when we got him a good 80-85% of the guys in here liked the move without asking the same question. Why did Philly jettison his ass to a divisional rival? Or they just were so elated we got a Pro Bowl QB that they just swept it under the rug. McNabb might have touched on a good topic for discussion though. Will the Shannys try to tinker with their system to help RG III flourish or just see if he can make it in their system doing it their way? I think they need to adjust it for him. The franchise paid a steep price in terms of draft picks for this to become another failed project.

Not me! I was never in favor with #2 + #3! Never, ever, ever. Philly saw the writing on the wall that Shanahan refused to see until long, long after a 2 & 3 were wasted on that fatefull Easter day!

AFTER I got over the shock of bringing in a F..n Eagle, I loved the idea and was certain we could get some Top Shelf QB play for a few years.
........Quickly, it became apparent why Andy let him go.....What I am, Oh sooo.....tired of is his continued....cheap shots at the Redskins organization and coaches in a thinly veiled attempt to cover for his repeated failures over the last couple of years.

It's something you see from a lot of Ex-Redskins so I have to believe there's a modicum of truth to it.

Carlos Rogers is also doing it currently

I for one will admit I believed bringing McNabb in was instant credibility. Why woulnd't anyone think so? He won a ton of games in philly, probowls, NFC championships, superbowl. I honestly thought it was a fantastic move regardless of the draft picks. McNabb reinvented the QB position in my eyes. I guy that put up ridiculous #'s passing and running, big physical guy.

Now, for what happened when he was here, i thought ego's definitely played a HUGE part in the success. He wanted to do somethings that he thought would help the offense, which as a player I think he has the right to do. Little Shanny wanted to do things his way, understandibly due to the success he had in Houston with that offense. Ultimately you would have liked to see those two put egos aside and just do what was best for the team, but neither wavered, enter Rex Grossman.

To say that RGIII will not have any success is such a dumb ass thing to say. 1st, RGIII will do what the coaches ask, and has no preconceived notions of what plays he should run, or abilities of the team he is on. He is a rookie and his learning of the game and offense will be directly from the Shanny's. Because of McNabbs lack of humility, doesn't mean everyone will fail due to a style of offense.

I really thought McNabb was a better individual that what he has been showing. Guess i thought wrong.

He has shown to be an egocentric ass wipe (sorry if I spelled egocentric wrong)

That was my thought process as well. MS & KS probably thought McNutts would be here maybe 3yrs so they wanted him to fit the system he refused. RG3 will fit the system because they will tailor it to fit him IMO.

I agree with McNabb 110%, even though what he said was in poor taste. They expected him to make the playoffs with one of the weakest offensive rosters in Redskins history. But this horse is dead, McNabb needs to go away now.
